-Caveat Lector- It appears that the Mexicans don't want to support us in our hour of grief and need. They just want to dump their surplus populaton on us. The surplus that have no job skills and that we will have to provide some form of welfare assistance and medical care for at our expense.
With Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff For the story behind the story... Monday, Oct. 1, 2001 Where's Mexico? It wasn't long ago that President Bush and Mexico's President Vicente Fox were pledging undying friendship between the two nations, with Bush telling Fox, "The United States has no more important relationship in the world than our relationship with Mexico." Fast-forward to the days following the Sept. 11 disaster and that relationship seems to have faded away, to be replaced by widespread Mexican indifference to the horrors suffered north of the border, if not outright hostility toward the United States. Despite such stirring pledges as Mexican Foreign Minister Jorge Castinada's "We cannot deny [the U.S] our support," Mexico seems to have averted its gaze from the Black Tuesday massacre and its aftermath. According to the Sept. 22 issue of The Economist, "Americans living in Mexico wonder aloud why the country has held no official memorial ceremony or mass vigils as Canada and some European countries have." Shockingly, many Mexicans, "notably well-educated, well-off ones," the Economist reports, excuse their failure to express sorrow by saying the U.S. simply got what it deserves. "It isn't our fight," they say. "They had it coming for all the things they've done to the rest of the world." Others remark, "Now they know what a real disaster feels like." According to one poll, barely 22 percent of Mexicans would support contributing troops to any military reprisal for the attack, and only 31 percent would support sending any aid. Observers attribute Mexico's cold shoulder to resentment of tough new restrictions on immigration from south of the border and hard-nosed inspections of all traffic at border crossing points. Moreover, many Mexican resent the fact that the Black Tuesday debacle has put a serious crimp in planned reform of the U.S.-Mexico immigration policy and solution of other long-standing problems between the nations. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
